About this demo
A two-column tour of how the new parchment UI, slots, and front matter work together.
About this demo
This page mirrors the production two-column layout: generous main content on the left, contextual resources on the right, both styled with the refreshed Markdown skin.
Anatomy of the two-column layout
- Main column for long-form stories, walkthroughs, or release notes.
- Sidebar for quick links, callouts, and microcopy that should stay visible.
- Responsive stacking that drops the sidebar below the content on small screens.
How the design language shows up here
- Headlines use the display font from
redesign/styles.css, while body copy matches the GitHub Markdown palette. - Blockquotes, definition lists, and code fences inherit the parchment gradient from
markdown-github.css. - Inline links pick up the ink-colored underline when hovered, matching the banner and footer accents.
Editorial patterns we recommend
- Keep paragraphs short—let the textured canvas breathe.
- Group related links into unordered lists to benefit from the soft list bullets.
- Use the
qa-blockpattern (shown below) for quick-hit Q&A content.
